The Direct Tax Bill.

Contrary tothc expectations of the friends
of the measure, the House Judiciary Com
mittce has agreed to report fayorably the
Senate bill providing for the repayment of
the direct tax collected from the States
under the act of 1861. Whether there will
be time, in view Of the backwardncss of
the appropriation bills, is a question. Mr..
Culbcrson, Of Texas, offered in committee
a substitute for the bill, which, had it been
agreed to, would have largely benefited
the South. 1t vas based on the idea that
the Senate bill only carried with it partial
Justice. This substitute retained all the
features of the original bill regarding the
return Of that part of the tax which the
States had paid and the remission of that
part which was still due, but it went fur
Their and provided that the States be paid
all the amount which were due to them by
the United States government and which
had been withheld on account of their in
dobtcdness to the government, growing out
OF the direct tax; that the owners of land
sold for non payment Of taxas be returned
the amount paid at The sales, after deducted
costs, etc; that the amounts collected under
the tax ON raw cotton be refunded to the
Southern states, which amounts should be
held in trust for the producers.

a Strange Condition of the Ground.

as hot almost as Il bakers oven for nearly
10 days. Many people have been com.
PEELED to leave their houses, the heat com.
municatcd to the buildings from the ground
being unbearablc. The cellars are 50 warm
that even Il %rolling.mill hand cannot enter
them. Several holes have been dug in the
ground Tor the purpose of finding the
cause of the remarkable heat, but ms vel
none has been found. 1t is believed that a
terrific fire has broken out in the huge cir.
der banks beneath the streets, and that it
has eaten its way through the mass of de.
bris on which the ward is located. Extcn-
sivc excavations arc to be made in various
parts of the ward, in the hope that the fire
may be discovered and cXtinguishcd.
